verse 1A/GAA/GA
One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea
GA
I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly
A/GAA/GA
Her sails were torn and tattered, and her wheel was spinning free
GA
I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me
A/GAverse 2A/GAA/GA
As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck
GA
In the silence I could feel the hair a-rising on my neck
A/GAA/GA
And I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below
GA
That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul
A/GA
D
'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide
AGA
And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink
D
Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
EA
I won't even make a ripple when I sink
Interlude
BB/ABverse 3B/ABB/AB
In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave
AB
That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave
B/ABB/AB
And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream
AB
Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream
B/AA
E
'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide
BAB
And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink
E
Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
F#B
I won't even make a ripple when I sink
